What a joke. Makes people wonder if the real sign-up numbers are even real or fake themselves.

Undercover government investigators were able to obtain thousands of dollars in taxpayer subsidies under ObamaCare using fake identities, according to
findings presented to Congress on Wednesday.

The probe by the Government Accountability Office has raised fresh concerns about the ability of the sprawling health care program to prevent or
intercept costly fraud schemes. In the case of the GAO investigation, 11 out of 12 applications submitted using "fictitious identities" were accepted,
resulting in subsidized health coverage.

"For each of our 11 approved applications, we paid the required premiums to put policies into force, and are continuing to pay the premiums. For the
11 applications that were approved for coverage, we obtained the advance premium tax credit in all cases," the report said.

At least Obama.Care is working for some people, even if they are shadows and ghosts !!

This leaves me with a number of questions. When "they" say fake ID's, what does that mean? Did they use the valid ID's of other people? Dead
People? Fictional people? Did they use valid but stolen Social Security numbers?

Is any system safe from fraud? I know I've had to change my B of A and Chase cards numerous times due to fraud.

Well the only people allowed to 'defraud' anyone are those shills on capitol hill.

Considering this:

Every day, personal information is the subject of hundreds of thousands of hacking attempts from all over the world. From nation states to
crime rings, knowing and exploiting your information is big business.

The Federal Data Services Hub (Hub), a component of the health insurance exchanges created by Obamacare, connects seven different government
agencies and establish new access points to the sensitive personal information of the American public.

The data hub will contain volumes of Americans' personal information and will be shared among numerous federal agencies, including the IRS,
the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, as well as state governments. It will
be used and accessed by thousands of bureaucrats as they seek to enroll people in the ObamaCare exchanges.

The GAO said its investigators concocted fake identities using invalid Social Security numbers and falsely claiming citizenship or legal residence. In
other cases, they made up income figures that would disqualify them from getting subsidies.

At this point - I think it is safe to say Crime syndicates have the SSN of every single American out there. Seriously - look at all the data breaches
in the past few years alone and tell me it is not true. Computer hackers have stolen everything they need to create an endless empire of money coming
in through fraud.

But yea - it is an absolute joke they were able to scam Obamacare this easily and get all that money.

You know what I read a while back?

An address in Orlando received something like 500 tax return checks one year. I # you not. This one address alone got over 800k dollars in tax return
checks. And apparently this happens every year - houses with nobody living in them used by identity thieves have hundreds of thousands of dollars in
scammed tax money being delivered. How on Earth does the IRS not notice that many returns going to the same address?

How the hell does the Post Office not notice something is up?

What a joke.

Another thing - I GUARANTEE you the Obamacare exchange has already been hacked at least once. And it is damn near the best place to hack to get all
the information id thieves would ever need.

What money? The article says that they paid for their insurance and were deemed eligible for subsides. Subsides are only awarded in
tax benefits, as in when they file taxes. The fictional entities aren't going to be filing taxes.

have they been arrested for fraud?...might do them good to be put in the slammer for a year or so...you know, just to show what happens when people
deliberately try to illegally screw something up.....it would be a learning experience for them, it might wipe those grins off their faces.
